Demostart (in progress)

Closed weights Google DeepMind September 2024

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Robotics
Task
Robotic manipulation

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Training data
tokens

"We trained our agents with a batch size of 256. Agents were trained until convergence which typically took under 10M learner updates but took 32M learner updates on the Screwdriver in cup task."

Availability

Whether you can obtain the model and run it on your own hardware, which is what decides if any of the graphics-card figures on this page apply.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

Demostart (in progress) was published by Google DeepMind, in United States of America, in September 2024. industry is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Robotics, and is recorded as doing robotic manipulation.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Answers

Demostart (in progress) — common questions

01

Is Demostart (in progress) open source?

No. Demostart (in progress) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does Demostart (in progress) have?

No parameter count has been published for Demostart (in progress), which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

03

Who created Demostart (in progress)?

Demostart (in progress) was published by Google DeepMind, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

04

When was Demostart (in progress) released?

Demostart (in progress) was published in September 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

05

What is Demostart (in progress) used for?

Demostart (in progress) works in Robotics, and is recorded as handling robotic manipulation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

06

What GPU do I need to run Demostart (in progress)?

None. Demostart (in progress) is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
